Homebrew PCBs

Hello Grant...and all...
         Though some may complain that it's a bit off topic for the 
group, I for one would LOVE to see that Metal Brake design. I've seen 
others mention it on the web but never an actual scan. You could post 
it in the files area just long enough for those interested to grab it 
then remove it to appease the naysayers!  :)

 The Case side of any project seems to always be the "Archiles Heel". 
Yard sales, The Salvation Army Store, and similar charity stores 
always seem to be a good source. I once found a group of 6 sloped 
panel desktop cases that someone had built into some kind of intercom 
system. After removing all the guts I was left with six boxes that 
only had one hole on the top panel and three small holes in the back. 
Paid all of $2.95 each (compared to $18.95 each for the same box 
brand new! The six 9 volt A-C adapters were a BONUS.

Good luck in your hunting. Too bad yard sale season is over (Well 
here in Canada it is at least.)

Cheers ....Dean.
